Fainting

I am 23 weeks pregnant and fainted today at work.I was taken to the hospital and Thank goodness everything came out just fine. Has anyone else fainted? If so how do have you prevented future fainting spells.

I have fainted a few times. Now what I do is when I start to feel lightheaded and dizzy, just kneel down to the grown. For some reason being low to the ground helps me.. (:

I have always been prone to fainting due to being anemic so easily.. When I got pregnant it got worse and I fainted more.. I started taking iron capsules and pre natals with iron.. Sorted me right out :) pregnancy is soi hard on your body sometimes lol
